What if Missouri and federal child labor laws do not agree?

The federal law (Fair Labor Standards Act) applies when a company does more than $500,000 in annual business, or their employees engage in interstate commerce. When both federal and state laws apply but do not agree on a specific point, the stricter law applies. Therefore, there must be compliance with both sets of laws.
